Importance of Getting Enough Sleep and Daily Activity Data to Assess Variability: Longitudinal Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The gold standard measurement for recording sleep is polysomnography performed in a hospital environment for 1 night. This requires individuals to sleep with a device and several sensors attached to their face, scalp, and body, which is both cumbersome and expensive. Self-trackers, such as wearable sensors (eg, smartwatch) and nearable sensors (eg, sleep mattress), can measure a broad range of physiological parameters related to free-living sleep conditions; however, the optimal duration of such a self-tracker measurement is not known. For such free-living sleep studies with actigraphy, 3 to 14 days of data collection are typically used.

Objective

The primary goal of this study is to investigate if 3 to 14 days of sleep data collection is sufficient while using se
